I finally got to visit the plot today, it wasn't quite as bad as I had imagined.

This is how it looked when I left - after I had hail, snow, sleet, rain and freezing wind I surrendered and legged it back home - almost a complete usable plot whoo hoo !!!Full length shot after I stopped - fair bit of work to do on this plot !!The plan is go down in the morning and dig over the grassy strip at the top, however the forecast is for a heavy frost tonight so we will have see when I get up !

These two are the before shots, sprouts are looking miserable and all the bean poles are still in place - all gone now.

Any brave souls out there ?

Its been a while since I've been to the plot, I have been since the last blog post ... honestly .. but things have become a little grim over the winter so this week I will attempt to get down there any survey the damage !!

My new friend.

Say hello to my new friend !

She is a fourteen week old English Bull Terrier and her name is Belle. I am in the process of setting up a blog for her so we can track her progress I will post a link just in case anyone is interested !!

She has become best friend with Ray - our nickname for our Rayburn and spends most of her day here asleep or awake and thinks nothing of sticking her head through the fire door when I am refueling it !!

She also likes to sleep on the stairs, when I am on the phone she comes and cwtches by me and then drops off - I do tend to talk a while to my mam !!

Onions are in.

You'll have to take my word for it but today I have planted white onions, shallots and garlic, you can't really see them an the ones you can see look like small stones !! As long as the birds don't pinch them you'll see them when they grow !

Blogger is still playing about with my photos so I will just comment as I go along!!I thought that the rhubarb would have made a show by now and after rumaging around in the grass I found it cleared around it and put a compost bin on top to attempt to force to it I had to put a piece of carpet on the one side to keep the light out.

Here is a small patch of ground I dug over and you can see the carpet needed to obscure the light to help force the rhubarb.

I also laid a path with ashes from the rayburn - looks a bit like a diary of the different fuels we have buring over the winter

This photo should be first in the list as it shows the first plot cleared, weeded, dug over and then Dad came in and rotarvated it for me .

I haven't written much to accompany these photos as the space bar is playing up on my laptop and it is very annoying to keep going back and putting the spaces in - anyone got any ideas how I can fixit???
